A few days ago, an owner took his pet dog Maltese to a pet grooming shop in New Taipei City to have a bath. Because he was in a hurry and was not satisfied with the price, the bath was not completed. However, two days later, he took the dog back to this shop. store, while the store was on break, he directly used the water pipe used for watering flowers outside the store to bathe the dog, and did not return it to its place after use. The owner found out the next day that the owner had adjusted the monitor and realized that it was the owner of the dog two days ago. He was so angry that he called the police. .
A man came to the front of the pet grooming shop with his dog, picked up the water pipe, and checked it again and again. Then he picked up the dog and helped him bathe. For about three minutes, the owner of the shop saw this. Looking at the monitor screen, I thought they looked familiar.

When a business owner said, "We saw that the dog was yellow, cute, and white, so we quoted a price, and he thought it would cost one thousand. He was in a hurry. Could you help him catch it? We said, no. Yeah, it’ll take two hours.”

It turned out that on the 12th, the owner came with his dog to take a bath. Because he was pressed for time and was not satisfied with the price, the dog could not be washed. But two days later, they showed up again, also wanting to wash the dog, but this time they simply Steal the water from the pet store and wash it yourself.
Reporter Zhou Rongxuan: "At that time, this pet shop in New Taipei City had its iron door closed and was not open for business. The owner just randomly picked up the water pipe used to water the flowers, bathed his pet, and used Then he threw it on the ground and never returned to its place."

In fact, faucets are usually locked, but the lock happened to be old and was opened immediately. After the incident, the owner not only replaced the lock with a new one, posted a warning, but also reported the incident to the police station.

The owner of the pet shop involved said: "Although the water is, just a little bit of water, I think his mentality is very strange. In fact, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, because we have locked it before, and most people Even when I saw the lock, I didn’t know how to use it, and some people came to borrow water, so we were fine, but I just found it inexplicable and didn’t know what it meant.”

Legal issues related to theft

Lawyer Li Yusheng: "This faucet belongs to the store. If others turn on the faucet and use it without the store's permission, it will constitute theft of the water."

Not only may you be held legally responsible, but in fact, pouring cold water directly on your pet without drying it with a hair dryer may cause your dog to catch a cold, which is not worth the loss.
